Coleman County Medical Center provides comprehensive hospital and outpatient care for patients throughout Coleman County and the surrounding communities. From 24/7 emergency care and inpatient services to radiology, physical therapy, obstetrical care, and specialized programs for seniors, our team is committed to providing quality care close to home.
The Texas Department of State Health Services designates CCMC’s emergency department a Level IV Trauma Center. Highly-qualified medical providers, nurses, and support staff staff the department 24/7.
The vast majority of CCMC’s nursing staff maintain advanced certifications: 89% of registered nurses hold Trauma Nurse Core Certification, 98% of RNs and LVNs hold Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification, and 90% also hold Pediatric Advanced Life Support Certification.
CCMC operates 25 licensed acute care beds for medical, surgical, and obstetrical patients. Staff can also use any of these beds as swing beds to provide skilled nursing care to qualifying patients.
Coleman County Medical Center offers a full-service laboratory that performs an estimated 30,000 laboratory tests on tissue, blood, and other body fluids each year. Some of the more common tests help providers determine whether patients have diabetes, high cholesterol, or infections.
Your mental health matters, especially as you get older. That’s why Coleman County Medical Center provides Senior Life Solutions, outpatient services designed to meet the unique needs of older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental challenges often associated with aging.
Medicare patients leaving Coleman County Medical Center or any other hospital after an acute illness, injury, or surgery can join our Swing Bed Program. It gives them the extra time and physical therapy they need to heal and strengthen before going home.
All three family physicians at Coleman Medical Associates practice obstetrical care in the clinic and deliver babies at Coleman County Medical Center. This allows expectant mothers in Coleman County and surrounding communities to deliver close to home.
The medical and nursing staff at Coleman County Medical Center have completed the latest requirements to receive Level I Neonatal designation for the hospital’s newborn nursery. All medical and nursing staff hold Neonatal Resuscitation Certifications and have completed a S.T.A.B.L.E. certification course addressing Sugar, Temp, Airway, Blood Pressure, Lab work, and Emotional Support for newborns and their mothers. The nurses have also completed numerous hands-on continuing education sessions.
In addition, CCMC has refined its quality program for the nursery to include safety training, drills, and mock codes. The nursing staff also conducts congenital heart defect screening and hearing screening on all newborns to identify potential issues prior to discharge.
Exceeding state standards, providers in Coleman educate new families on common questions, newborn care, and basic emergency care. They also offer the Period of Purple program, which supports newborn parents and helps decrease the incidence of shaking or abuse.

CCMC offers a full range of diagnostic radiology services — general x-ray, portable X-ray, C-Arm, CT scanning, and ultrasound — on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. A licensed radiologic technologist performs exams around the clock. Local physicians can view digital images immediately, and CCMC also transmits them electronically to a board-certified radiologist, who confirms the interpretation within a few minutes to a few hours. These images assist the physician with diagnosis and treatment in emergency and routine situations.
Routine or general x-rays are the most frequently performed procedure; providers typically use them to diagnose fractures and help detect pneumonia, obstructions, and tumors. Staff use the portable X-ray to take images in the Emergency Department or inpatient unit when transporting a patient to the Radiology Department is difficult. The C-Arm is an x-ray unit shaped like a “C” that fits over an exam or surgical table; surgeons can use it on patients during surgical procedures.
CT scanning produces multiple images of the inside of the human body, like a traditional x-ray, but much more detailed. Providers most commonly use CT scans — one of the fastest and most accurate tools available — to examine the abdomen, chest, and pelvis for trauma patients, abdominal pain, chest pain, pulmonary embolisms, and vascular disease that may lead to stroke, kidney failure, or death.
CCMC’s recently installed 16-slice CT scanner gives medical staff detailed diagnostic information faster than earlier CT machines, while reducing patient radiation exposure by up to 40 percent.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to look at organs and structures inside the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and liver. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound to view the fetus. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not expose you to radiation.
The PACs system improves the hospital’s ability to store CT and x-ray images and electronically transfer those images to radiologists, who read them and provide a report.
Physicians practicing at CCMC perform diagnostic endoscopies and minor surgeries, such as destruction of lesions, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair, at the hospital. A certified registered nurse anesthetist provides full-time anesthesia coverage.
Therapy services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cardiac rehabilitation.
The physical therapy staff meets the needs of outpatients as well as Swing Bed patients who suffer from movement, balance, and functional difficulties from aging, disease, injury, surgery, or environmental factors. Our dedicated, highly qualified physical therapy staff works closely with patients and their physicians to develop a plan that helps restore physical function and overall fitness. We have a variety of specialized equipment to help produce positive outcomes.
The cardiac rehabilitation staff administers stress tests to determine cardiac function levels. Both a local physician and a cardiologist read the results. Staff also performs rehabilitation after surgeries, stent placements, and any type of cardiac episode to increase mobility and heart function. The program also includes education on heart-healthy diets and daily healthy living.
